Scope of SAS in Future:

SAS has over 40,000 customers worldwide and holds largest market share in advanced analytics. It has been tagged 'leader' consistently in advanced analytics platform as per Gartner 2015 and 2016 reports. In finance (BFSI) industry, SAS secured No. 1 spot and used as a primary tool for data analysis. Many financial companies are still reluctant to use R/Python programming language as they have been using SAS for 30 years, and they have automated the whole process of analysis and have written millions of lines of working code. To convert all the stable reporting system from SAS to R/Python, it may cost 50-100 times more. If you think R/Python will overtake SAS in future as SAS is an expensive tool. You might be wrong. The SAS licensing fees is nothing to a bank or a drug company as they can afford it.
